    Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

    I agree, mental health care is very important and sadly is not always easy to get. Mental health needs more funding and more awareness. Being stable mentally is just as important as getting your yearly doctor's exam. I view mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and so on to be just as important to treat as any physical sickness or injury that requires medical attention.
  • sldaly on 27 Jan 17
     
    I also agree that mental healthcare is very poor and not getting the attention it deserves. I have someone really close to me that has mental illness and they don't get all the proper things that they need to deal with it because of money.

    As someone who has struggled with mental illness most of my entire life I know all too well the challenges that mental health faces in our country. It might help you to look at the Reagan administration and their decisions to close several mental health hospitals and programs in the late 80's. This had a huge impact on how mental health was dealt with in this country.

    Being someone that has worked for a number of years with mentally disabled patients, I have to say that there is a lot of indifference toward this medical condition. Patients are not always receiving the best treatment option, they rather receive what is convenient for the health care provider or sometimes the cheapest alternative because family does not want to pay for treatment, whether it is a therapy or medication. It is very unfortunate that these people are ignored just because they have an ilness.
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    I work with a variety of patients and some do have mental disabilities. Most don't seek help because they have the lack of knowledge and don't know where to start. Also like the article states they don't have the support or don't want to spend the money. A lot of people who don't get the correct help they need then tend to become suicidal. Very sad.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.
  • che2146091 on 29 Jan 17
     
    The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

    I personally do think that social media does play a roll in today's mental health pandemic, whether the impact is big or small. Mental health is something I believe to be very important & I wish everyone took it more seriously.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    I agree with Ash. As a race, humans tend to emulate and learn from each other, and has been proven by examining cultures and societies. With social media, anybody can "learn" behaviors, thoughts, or even actions from anybody. With this in mind, what do you think will happen to future generations on social media if they were, for example, consistently exposed (and as a result desensitized) to something like violence?

    This is a great topic and a great find, social media has been directly linked to depression.
  • ayeager7152 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Sadly this world has truly become run by social media and the input of people we have never, and will never, meet. The importance a "like" or "comment" has now definitely leads to declining mental health statuses. Some people are so based on the likes that their entire world would crumble. Companies pay people purely based on their likes and follower count and the power they hold over their viewers.
  • alexisgarcia28 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Mental health is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Our predecessors commonly pushed down or ignored their mental health issues, but it's even worse for people today due to social media and other platforms. People today are becoming more mindful of social issues such as mental health and I think that's a really big deal.

    Social media has really impacted adolescents and young adults in many ways. Mental health problems have sprung because of social media. Social media has its positives but it has made a lot of people see themselves in a bad light and view themselves as imperfect when in real life they are perfect.

    I would definitely agree with the article as it claims the correlation between time spent on social media and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I likes how they referenced how abstaining from it can result in higher levels of happiness.

    I personally think that mental health has such a negative stigma around it, which is part of the reason it gets negated. Taking that negative stigma away, and providing people with access to the care they need is so important.

    Mental health truly is something that gets disregarded a lot of the time. If anything, all the time. I agree, having access to mental healthcare is extremely important. It could be beneficial to so many people and could save numerous lives.

    I too enjoyed this article. As I'm aspiring to be a psychiatrist, issues such as these are very important to me, especially considering that I have suffered from mental illness as well. There are indeed many stigmas that surround mental illness, and we as a society are just barely beginning to understand the sensitive nature of these illnesses, as well as how to effectively treat them.

    Thank you for sharing this article! I believe it's important to understand why it's so hard for so many people to get treatment for mental illness. It's not as easy as go to the gym or just don't think about it. It's important to get rid of the stigma and economic barriers that surround mental illness and treatment.

    America's mental health is becoming an epidemic, yet funding for mental health is at an all time low. States are cutting funding for mental healthcare, in order to save money, yet when they do this they do not understand the repercussions. Many of the mentally ill often end up on the streets, jail or dead. When mental health is not treated we end up with many tragic events such as the 2012 Auroa shooting

    According to this article, about 50% of students ages from 13-18 have their mental health negatively impacted in some way. A bad impact on mental health can lead youths into unfortunate circumstances. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be brought up more within school curriculums.

    This site tackles the sensitive subject of mental illness and the negative stigmas that often follow. It briefly touches on how despite years of research people with mental illness are often still perceived as weak. It delves into people refusing treatment because of feeling ashamed of being mentally ill and also explains how negative stereotypes of mentally ill persons can negatively impact their self-perception. The article also talks about how to appropriately manage stigmas that often revolve around mental illness.

    It's interesting because I have never really connected climate change and mental health. It makes sense when you think about it, how most people connect raining with depression and sunshine with happiness. A lot of factors go into maintaining mental health and our environment is definitely one of them.

    In 2010, A report by the Treatment Advocacy Center discovered a seventeen percent decrease in the number of available psychiatric beds, and psychiatric facilities. The funding for mental health resources is still continuing to be cut. Back in 1955, there was more funding for the mentally ill, and more housing. Today, we are are given less than half of the funding we were then. We currently have 13 beds for 100,000 people. Where as in 1955 there were 50 beds for 100,000 people. The Mental Health Reform Act of 2016 is bringing the United States one step closer to providing more adequate help for the mentally ill. Such as, more funding for at risk populations.

If they did that to me, I'm hiring a lawyer. I'm sure that I'd win the case because they would find it as discrimination.

    People with mental illnesses should not be treated differently, they did not ask to be born with an illness it just happens. Humans should be look for more ways to help people then discriminate them. It saddens me that mental illnesses seem to be frowned upon more then saying you have been to jail.

    Mental health is at a total decline, many high school and college students meet the standard for depression and an anxiety disorder. Studies were done and they showed a dramatic increase in mental illness over the last five decades. The increase in mental illness surprisingly had nothing to do with realistic dangers such as war. Anxiety and depression often correlate with a sense or lack of control

    Many homeless people who live out on the streets are victims of mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. People who are mentally ill and homeless are among the hardest to treat, and government spending on homeless programs is expected to rise.

    This post actually hits close to home for me, seeing as i am a psych major and i feel the same way about our homeless population. Many of them are made fun of or accused of being on drugs but what they do not realize is that many of them are acting that way because they are not on the medication that they require to function at a normal level.

    This article really opens my eyes a bit about homeless people. I mainly believe that homeless people at times are just helpless and put themselves in a position that they cant return from, but this article says otherwise. It goes to show that not all of these homeless people are completely doomed, just some of them need to proper medical assistance to get them back on the right track and back into reality.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!
